We have a doozy of a recipe for the first one, courtesy of Ryan Farr, who has crafted creative cuisine for the likes of Orson and Fifth Floor and now heads up his own companies Ivy Elegance and 4505 Meats (maker of fantastic chicharrones). He's famous for his pig butchery demonstrations, showing other people how to minimize waste, as well as edgy recipes that push the animal's boundaries (mirrors lined with rails of bacon "snow," anyone?):
